Market Dynamics
Driver: the growing elderly population.
The share of the old population has increased significantly, especially in developed countries, due to the demographic shifts seen worldwide over the past few decades. Given improvements in healthcare and general living circumstances, there are now more older people because life expectancy has grown. Birth rates have also fallen due to lifestyle modifications, easy access to contraception, and increased family planning awareness. Because of their advanced age and decreased bone and muscle mass, the elderly population has restricted or limited mobility, negatively affecting their cognitive capacities. Wheelchairs help the elderly maintain mental and physical health while giving them freedom and independence in everyday activities without burdening others. The growing elderly population will so fuel the expansion of the wheelchair market globally.
Restraints: wheelchairs' high price in low- and middle-income nations.
Both developed and developing nations are home to most wheelchair producers. They produce these goods and then distribute them globally. Without any assistance from government healthcare programmes, the populace in low- and middle-income nations must pay the customs and shipping fees to purchase these wheelchairs, dramatically raising the cost of the wheelchair. Wheelchairs' accessibility and high cost will constrain the market's expansion.
Opportunities: research, development and innovations.
The creation of novel automated devices is necessary since people who are paralyzed or quadriplegic have very limited independent mobility. Their requirements are distinct from those of typical wheelchair users who are disabled or elderly. As a result, manufacturers of automated wheelchairs with panel-based control systems have created these devices to help paraplegics carry out their daily duties more independently. Market participants are also investing in technologies that allow wheelchair controls to incorporate neuron transmitters so the user can move about by sending commands from their brains. During the anticipated period, these technological advancements will present attractive prospects to industry participants in the wheelchair market worldwide.
Challenges: the lack of insurance coverage
Wheelchairs are not covered under insurance, shifting the entire financial burden on the user. This often makes it unaffordable for them, given the lack of income or opportunities with restricted mobility. Furthermore, the corruption, bureaucracy, red tape and lack of funding for provisioning wheelchairs to the needy make it inaccessible and contributes to limiting the market's growth.
